Poorly sourced BLP- primary source, local news report and IMDb respectively, no notability outside of some spelling competition. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   02:51, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The national spelling bee isn't just "some spelling competition".  A national champion who happens to be a national reporter as well is notable enough for me.  Why does this require a second AfD discussion?-- &#x03C6; OnePt618Talk &#x03C6;   03:42, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Because it's a poorly sourced BLP on an individual who is, at best, marginally notable. It would be a better use of your time to actually improve the article than to make arguments like 'clearly notable' in the AfD, which is actually listed as an argument to avoid. Just take a look at it- it's full of fact tags and sourced to IMDb, whose reliability for WP purposes is questionable at best.

 * Keep National champion in a major national championship that is nationally televised. I added citations to the article from a reliable source.  Royal broil  00:13, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: Terming the U.S. National Spelling Bee as "some spelling contest" is more than a bit inaccurate.  I added 1979 news sources to help counteract the "primary source" concern as well.  Even if the annual winner of this contest is not automatically notable (and I'd rather that the winner of this contest be automatically notable instead of, say, Miss Universe), but in this case she has done more and generated more coverage.--Milowent (talk) 17:25, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
